Great Weekend

Laura,

Thank you for having us up to the cottage. It is always so relaxing and fun. You are an excellent host with nonstop booze flowing to an amazing dinner. I love spending my time with all the ladies of the club and love getting to know everyone even better. Barb D. thought provoking photo discussion gave me a new way to view myself and those around me or not. I find myself frequently thinking about the women in our club and how our stories are so unique and special and what a privilege it is to hear them.

I couldn't agree more Carolyn. I am always surprised, inspired, and truly proud of all the women in our book club. Everyones journeys and experiences never fail to capture my imagination and in some ways are far more entertaining than any book we have read. Laura, Barb and Carolyn your story telling was awesome this weekend - thanks for being so open and sharing of your personal experiences. What says in simcoe stays in simcoe. Thanks again!

It was a very special cottage book club weekend to me. More than ever I truly feel lucky to be a part of such an amazing group of women. As our lives unfold, our bookclub journey seems to take us to new and amazing places. Thank you everyone!

Wow Ladies! I am glad you enjoyed the weekend as much as I did! I feel privileged to have you as guests up at Simcoe! And the weather heard our prayers, the water was perfect. I echo all of your sentiments, we are an awesome group of ladies whose experiences and stories are better than the material we read!

At the risk of piling on, I too want to thank Laura and everyone for a wonderful weekend. We laughed, we cried and we learned a little more about ourselves and each other. It was a truly magical weekend in every way.

I love spending time with you all.

So sorry I missed it :( sounds like you had a great time!

As for next months book -- is it Far from the Maddening Crowds, the one Lori picked?

Can someone please confirm?

Thanks,
